TheChrisSamsa Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 What's the story on Melky's celebration sequence? It starts with stir the drink, then he does an eye thing, then big arms, then even bigger arms.. Is there a story? https://twitter.com/whitesox/status/631276040543948801 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 All of our players do the stir the drink thing. I guess Melky adds his own little thing at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 QUOTE (ChrisLikesBaseball @ Aug 12, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) Big fan, eh? Craig Biggio is what? Top 5 all time in doubles? How many times do you remember him showboating after hitting one? Zero. Because he has too much RESPECT for the GAME. That's why he's in the hall of fame and Melky is a roided up clown.

Biggio isn't in the hall of fame because he didn't showboat 2. If you're gonna hate on Melky for showboating, then hate on our whole team, because they all do it.

Because he took the game seriously, showed up to work everyday ready to give his all for the TEAM and the GAME, gritty spark plugs don't stir imaginary pansy drinks they just swat two baggers every f***ing day with their head down, never looking for extra attention. And to your second point: Melky's the only one who makes a spectacle of himself while stirring the drink. The others do it with far more class.

BigEdWalsh Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I don't think it's so much celebrating as it is trying to encourage the other guys. But either way, it isn't nearly as bad as the celebrating in basketball and especially football. Basketball players celebrate their 3 point shots. They celebrate dunk's as if they're Goliath or as if it's the first time they ever dunked. Football players celebrate every good run, every nice catch, every touchdown. The way sacks are celebrated is clownish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really see it as showboating all that much, especially since he's always looking at his teammates when he does it. The stir the drink thing has been a nice little team bonding thing, and it's fostered camaraderie in the team. I like it. Your "integrity of the game" nonsense is a complete overreaction.

Princess Dye Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 we ask the players to treat this profession as more than just a $$-centered business fun & celebrating? then we reprimand them for it. I never had a problem with buehrle saying he'd play for the Cardinals. be honest & be yourself, whatever it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hit the nail on the head. It's a total contradiction. Seemingly, millions of meatballs are happy with this bit of cognitive dissonance.

The Ginger Kid Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 He's simply saying "Stir it. I see you. Superman. Iron Man." Cobb used to do the same thing but with different superheroes. And he was grittier than Biggio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
